Question
What is a Filipino money dance?
Answer
The Filipino money dance, or Sayaw ng Pera, is a heartwarming wedding tradition symbolizing community support, well wishes, and good fortune for the newlyweds. While taking turns, guests pin any cash onto the couple's clothing then individually dance (or with a small group) with the bride or groom. This is an extra and festive way for family and friends to offer blessings for their new life together!

Question
What’s the weather like?
Answer
Summer in Washington is a hidden gem! Temperatures typically range from the low to mid 80s Fahrenheit. Be sure to check the local forecast and pack accordingly to ensure your comfort. While we Seattle locals might find this warm-hot (definitely for Mere), our Jamaican loved ones will appreciate the ideal weather. Our wedding venue along the Puget Sound brings refreshing nighttime breezes, so we recommend bringing a sweatshirt or light jacket. We can't wait for you to experience the beautiful Pacific Northwest!
